Effect of cholecalciferol replacement on vascular calcification and left ventricular mass index in dialysis patients.

abstract：:Abstract TGF-β1 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic renal diseases. Although the specific mechanism is unknown, a major factor is the potent fibrogenic activity of TGF-β1 in the chronic progression of renal diseases. TGF-β1 closely correlates with renal fibrosis in cooperation with several fibrosis-...
